3. What are the major environmental problems you are exposed to? How are these problems
addressed in achieving sustainable development?
- Water pollution is mostly caused by a number of factors, including poor industrial
sewage disposal, oil spills, the dumping of radioactive and chemical waste, and
plastic contamination. In many countries throughout the world today, a lack of
clean water and water pollution are major threats to human life. The quality of
water is more likely to worsen as the world's population increases and the sources of
water pollution multiply, posing risks to human health and the environment as well
as social and economic issues. According to the UNESCO, water quality issues pose
new threats to water security and sustainable development and are a significant
challenge in both developed and developing nations.

1. Answer the following questions:
a. In your own opinion, what is the most pressing problem related to
globalization? How can it be resolved?
b. Why do Third World countries typically lag behind First World nations with regard to
technology? How can such gaps be bridged?
- For this reason, these nations were plagued by war, epidemics, or other natural
calamities, high levels of corruption, a low capital pool, a lack of high-skilled labor,
and distance from industrialization hubs (where neither human nor capital capital
was shared). Developing countries need people with technical knowledge to compete
in the high-tech sector. When governments try to develop education too quickly and
produce graduates without a suitable infrastructure to sustain the educational
system, problems occur.
c. For countries like the Philippines, how can agricultural modernization and
industrialization lead to development and prosperity?
d. How can progressive taxation help governments achieve development for their people?
- Progressive taxes are implemented in an effort to lessen the impact of taxes on those
who have a lesser ability to pay because they gradually move the incidence to those
who have a higher ability to pay. With a progressive tax, individuals with higher
earnings pay more in taxes than those with lower incomes do. This form of tax aids
low-income households in covering the costs of necessities like food, shelter, and
transportation. They may devote a higher portion of their income to cost-of-living
costs thanks to a progressive tax.
e. Why do some international groups campaign for debt reduction and/ or condo nations?
- The global community has concentrated on increasing the connections with debt
relief and measures to reduce poverty as the debt relief projects have developed. To
prevent debt loads from rising to unmanageable levels, there are still obstacles to
overcome. In addition to debt relief, long-term loan sustainability necessitates
efforts by debtors, lenders, and donors to encourage responsible borrowing,
appropriately concessional financing, continued economic growth, diverse exports,
and increased market access in developed nations.
b. How do you describe these issues and impacts and how does your community respond or react to
it?
- Loss of Cultural Identity is when we embrace too much of others' culture compared to our
own and value it more than our own. For example, we let Hangul and Nihongo into our
education curriculum rather than let our own old written way (Baybayin) that Filipinos
must focus on and embrace as our own, learning it like our ancestors did starting from a
very young age. Based on my observation, Filipinos right now are so into Kdramas and
animes, and some are learning their language and culture, and somehow it shows how we
ignore the beauty that the Philippine culture has and some even want to migrate and live
there. This just shows an indirect colonized nation.
c. Do your proposed solutions on these problems address or respond to the needs of your locality?
- The DEPED and CHED should allow Filipino language to be used as our teaching language
inside within the schools, greater promotion in the Filipino culture, and usage of Baybayin
writing style, is my suggested solution to this issue. Because I really think that these are the
necessary first measures to remind Filipinos of who they are, to have a significant influence
on our minds and hearts, and to demonstrate to those foreigners that no matter how many
times they colonized us, we would always return to our true selves.

- A person who is aware of and appreciates their role in the larger world is referred to as a
